Agora/Market Manual - 51st Thessaloniki IFF-2010Balkan Fund ProjectsSeptemberGreece / GermanyProduced by: PENNY PANAYOTOPOULOUDirector: Penny PanayotopoulouScriptwriters:Kallia Papadaki, Penny PanayotopoulouCo-Producer: Thanassis Karathanos –Twenty Twenty VisionBudget: 1.000.000 euroSYNOPSISAnna works at IKEA and witnesses everyday peoples’ dreams about putting a life together. She lives her own lifequietly with no great aspirations. Her only true companion is her dog Manu. But then, the dog dies. Whilemourning over her loss, not knowing what to do, a woman living across the street with her family comes andtakes Anna into her arms and calms her down. From that moment on, Anna replaces her dog with the life of theapparently happy family. Their everyday habits and their little moments become the centre of her universe. Shespies on them, imitates them, longs for their togetherness and reorganizes her life according to their pace andmood. But when the family gets suffocated by her overbearing behaviour, they reject her. Anna feels devastatedbut realizes that families meet their own dead-ends and shortcomings.DIRECTORS’ STATEMENTI have always wanted to make a small film about a great loneliness. Subjects that don’t have fancy plot twists orcomplicated structures attract me. I just try to keep alert to the world around me, to every little detail, phrase orgesture and let them bring out the story in complete innocence, as if things were happening for the first time.It is by that means, I can understand the hidden joys and sorrows of all people.In September apparently nothing much happens. And yet, it gives me a great opportunity to bring up with aslight, humorous delight the tragicomic aspect of life; the longing for someone or something you can never be,the isolation in any given conventional structure- namely families-, the deep silence that surpasses whateverhappens in the surface of things. Two homes, one facing the other, containing lives, silences, ups and downs,hidden thoughts and dreams.TWENTY TWENTY VISIONTwenty Twenty Vision is a film production company based in Berlin, Germany. The principal ThanassisKarathanos and shareholder Uta Ganschow formed the company in December 1998 as a vehicle for the productionof feature film projects aimed at the national and international markets.PRODUCER’S CONTACT INFORMATIONPENNY PANAYOTOPOULOUT. +30 2108048497M. +30 6932438718ppanayotopoulou@gmail.com26
